Course a success and vote of support from Geoff Lawton

Latest news here at Permablitz is that in addition to a whole stack of blitzes in the pipeline with designs being laid down as we speak, the first Permablitz Introduction to Permaculture went great with about 14 lovely participants – are a few photos from the weekend in our gallery here . Meanwhile, Geoff Lawton, founding director of the Permaculture Research Institute of Australia and one of the most accomplished permaculture designers in the world, has been in touch to say:

"The kind of work that "Permablitz" is doing is exactly what is needed to redesign, re-pattern and reshape our present human settlements, which are so unsustainable and insecure, into the permanent culturally classic habitat of humankind's potentially abundant future" (Geoff Lawton, September 29 2007).

About Permablitz Melbourne

Welcome to Permablitz Melbourne - where we get together and have fun learning about, designing and implementing suburban permaculture systems. Our focus is edible gardens, and our ultimate aim is to make the suburbs edible enough such that should food become unaffordable, we don’t even notice.
